INTENDED CURRICULUM FOR TODAY’S LESSON Friction is the force that opposes the relative motion or tendency of such motion of two surfaces in contact. (Sliding friction is the frictional resistance an object in motion experiences) In a controlled investigation, only one variable can be changed, and the results can be compared to a standard.

4
Lesson Content Goals 3. For every force required to move an object, there is an equal and opposite force caused by friction or gravity. INTENDED CURRICULUM FOR TODAY’S LESSON 2. Variables related to surface or mass can increase and decrease the force necessary to move an object. 1. In a controlled experiment, the experimental variable can be changed incrementally to see how it affects the outcome.

GUIDING QUESTIONS 1. In a controlled experiment, the experimental variable can be changed incrementally to see how it affects the outcome. 3.

ENGAGING SCENARIO Some warehouse workers at the Pepsi Bottling Plant have a problem. They need to move some large cases of Pepsi from the storage area to the loading dock. The fork lift that they use to move the cases is broken and won’t be fixed for a week. The delivery schedule will not let them wait until the fork lift is fixed. They have decided to move the cases by pulling them across the smooth concrete floor. It is about as smooth as your table top. However, they are not sure if this surface will require the least amount of force to pull the cases across. They think another surface like paper towel, wax paper or sand paper might be surfaces that will require less force to move the cases. They heard that you have used models to help solve these types of problems by conducting investigations. They need your help. They sent along some materials to help with the investigations. They need a report from you by the end of the day.

PLANNING Select a variable that can be changed step-by- step. The variables in our system are surface, spring scale, wooden block, string to attach block to spring scale, distance you will pull the block. Decide: –what you are going to change? –what you are going to keep the same? –what you are going to observe or measure THIRD NOTEBOOK ENTRY

But before you start your experiment, how will you record and collect your data? Make a data collection device based on what you said you were going to observe or measure and be prepared to share it. FOURTH NOTEBOOK ENTRY

16
Now that you have your data collection device you are ready to conduct your experiment. Get the materials needed to conduct the experiment. Make sure that you pull the block across the surface by using the same speed for each surface and for each trial. Record your results and draw a labeled diagram of what your did during the investigation. FIFTH NOTEBOOK ENTRY

17
As a group be prepared to discuss: What pattern you observed and recorded in your data?

18
Scientists always graph the results of their tests. The warehouse workers think that we should do the same. Bar Graphs display relationships between two variables. In this experiment you used different surfaces and measured the force needed to pull the block across the surface in Newtons

What do we call the two variables we graph on a two-coordinate graph? What other names do we use for the independent and dependent variables? Which variable goes on the x-axis? Y-axis? How can you remember which one is the independent variable?

21
Make a Bar Graph of your results. Look for relationships shown on your graph. Be prepared to share the graph. Optional: Can you think of a formula or pattern to explain the graph? SIXTH NOTEBOOK ENTRY

ENGAGING SCENARIO The warehouse workers like the help you have given them so far regarding the smooth floor needing the least amount of force needed to pull an object across the surface. Now they have another problem. They are wondering if it would be easier to pull one case or many cases across the floor each trip to the loading dock. They need your help. They now would like for you to design an investigation to help solve this problem. They need a report from you by the end of the day.

I claim that as the number of blocks increased, the amount of force needed to pull them across the table top increased. 3.
